thanks fellas

That Rich and Retard around 5000rpm can only ever be rectified with a PFC. A SAFC will take most of it out but will never get rid of it, It's just like putting a bandade on a broken leg. Plus its not as safe. Fuel pressure reg isn't really required as these RB's run very rich base maps. Taking fuel out of the things usually gives you alot more headroom with the injetors anyway. But yea definetly better than putting up with that gay flat spot.

slightly on topic, but any tips on where to dispose of old oils?

a tablespoon each morning in the kid's cereal or on their pancakes & tell them it's either castor oil or Canadian Maple Syrup...........good for keeping them regular :P

so who wants to come over for breakfast????

eww Petes mum in fishnets not something i want to think about

ok then, YOUR mum in fishnets

throw in my missus mum and there will be loads to clean up

of :wub:

I'll be having most of the 100thou service redone when we do the head in december.

got a gates racing belt kit with tensioner and pulley etc, fuel filter is fresh but will replace some fluids (attessa oring being replaced), power/diff/coolant/brakes/oil&filter

she'll be real fresh after that, and the tune, with the new Tomei Poncams. wonder how much difference the large throttle body will make?

anyway, looking forward to this upcoming tune, should be a bit of a sleeper.

next will be tyres

;)

a safc and nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator might be a bit of fun, to get around the 5000rpm spot, and gain some more power

but youd want a full exhaust system, good induction and intake, better fuel pump, and then the mods really start

The car has a 3" exhaust, k&n filter and some shitty gfb bov... very basic. Would SAFC get rid of the atmo bov problems such as wanting to stall at times etc? Or would it be better if i replaced this with standard item? I hardly see the benefit of having aftermarket bov if the factory unit does a good job...

i would replace the BOV as soon as possible as soon as police see that its canary time at least with out that and a tidy bonnet you may just have an uncomfortable chat then be on your way

i think people are saying SAFC to get rid of the R&R @ 5,000 a fuel cut defender will do the same think but i think the SAFC you can bend some of the fuel signals as well

dont waste your money, SAFC is a bandade on a broken leg. Put up with it and save your money for a PFC. SAFC's tended to get on the unsafe side of things, No ignition timing can be changed so the standard ECU does whatever it wants with the ignition which can cause flat spots anyway.

Cool, again thanks for helpful replies :laugh:

How much do PFC's cost these days? around $800 mark private sale?

haha sorry about all the questions, skylines are new to me... everything is computer controlled :rofl:

also, whats GReddy E-Manage like? I understand its only a piggyback so just basic functions can be changed... in terms of price though they seem pretty reasonable.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
